2015 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · K66 KAN

The 2025‑08‑07 MOT at 115,821 miles confirms the 2015 Audi A3 remains roadworthy, with the tester noting only brake disc wear within acceptable limits and rear brake pads wearing thin. Since the 2022‑08‑23 test at 88,233 miles, each annual test has passed without defect, indicating a stable maintenance record and no worsening of mechanical condition. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 43,193 miles in August 2018 to 115,821 miles in August 2025, an average annual increase of roughly 10,500 miles, which aligns with typical usage for an 11‑year‑old car. Notable jumps occur between 2021 (74,171 miles) and 2022 (88,233 miles), a 14,062‑mile increase in one year, and similarly between 2020 (61,553 miles) and 2021 (74,171 miles), suggesting periods of heavier use or possible odometer corrections, but the overall progression remains steady. Recurrent brake wear is evident: front and rear discs showed wear in 2019, 2021 and 2025, while rear pads were recorded as thin in 2021 and 2025, indicating consistent use of the braking system without catastrophic failure. The 2021‑08‑23 failure on the central rear seat‑belt buckle, though not repeated, signals a potential structural or mechanical issue that should be verified. No MOTs have recorded suspension, exhaust or structural rust defects, but the repeated brake wear warrants close inspection of caliper binding, disc condition and suspension bushes. A prospective buyer should examine the condition of the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, verify pad thickness against the 1.5 mm minimum, test the rear seat‑belt buckle for proper latching, and inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and wheel‑arch areas for corrosion or damage, as these components are the most likely to exhibit wear given the mileage pattern.
